They are still working hard to get the place back in shape after Ike, but it's coming along. The floodwaters nearly covered the trains in spots, but they've been working nonstop on restoring them again. There are so many incredible textures and details all over the place. I would love to go back when it's not 110 in the shade with a 4-year-old who wants to explore every train car at the same time. Engine gauges  Rivers of rust and blue  Corvette suspension  I love the curved spokes on the wheel  Mail train.  I love gears and the striations on the face on whatever that thing is on the the left.  Valves. Lots of valves.  I have no idea what this part is. It was under a car. It looks, like most things on these trains, like it was built to last forever.  The colors and valve knobs were awesome. The reminded me of anemones.  I wouldn't come close to fitting in these things unless I were in the fetal position, but they were awesome.  groovyone and AeroClassics like this. |

absolutely beautiful! You did the textures well. Did you do the B&W post? I did have to laugh at "corvette suspension". I kept thinking of the car and remarked to myself "That's the biggest damned car I've seen." --------------------------- "Like in life, where other sees a mistake, you should look upon it as a lesson.

The corvette suspension is sort of an inside joke between a Corvette owning friend of mine and I. Leaf springs are awesome...on trucks, trains, and corvettes. | |

Very nice. I love detail shots, and these are all fantastic. --------------------------- You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer. ~Frank Zappa |
